Kelsee is a proud Whadjuk Ballardong Noongar Yorga (woman) with connections to Wilman and Yued Country through her Father and a Barkandjii Ngiyampaa woman through her Mother. She lives in beautiful Boorloo (Perth) and works within the City of Melville as a First Nations Community Development Officer.
Kelsee’s journey exemplifies a dedication to personal growth and community impact. Through her completion of the Emerging Leaders program through Western Australian Aboriginal Leadership institute (WAALI), her role as Miss NAIDOC Perth 2024, and her recent graduation from the Yorga Djenna Bidi program (also through WAALI), Kelsee has cultivated a strong sense of identity and purpose.
These transformative experiences have fuelled her passion for uplifting First Nations communities, with a focus on ensuring that youth voices are heard and valued. Her commitment reflects a vision to create meaningful opportunities that celebrate and empower First Nations perspectives, fostering a future of inclusivity and representation.
Within the First Nations Youth Advisory group, Kelsee hopes to make sure First Nations Youth voices are heard and recognised, gain knowledge and create connections with other like minded Mob and Elders.
